Initialism and Acronym Glossary
Having just realised I had no idea what NVH meant I think we really need this for all members new and old as this may not just be a technical glossary I think this is the best place for it.
If you would like to post in this thread your various Initialisms and Acronyms we mods will add them alphabetically to this message If you are puzzled feel free to ask what xyz means as well someone will know I hope This list is for car related ones CDT = ? often open to debate this one! CDTi = ? as above with an i on it FBH = Fuel Burning Heater HGF = Head Gasket Failure ICE = In Car Entertainment IKE = Instrument Kombi Electronics (Instrument Cluster to you and me) MAF = Mass AirFlow Sensor NVH = Noise Vibration and Harshness VIS = Variable Intake System Last edited by Keith; 2nd November 2007 at 14:14.. Reason: adding another one |

CDTi is the official reference for the remapped versions that MGR produced when they woke up to the fact that the CDT was capable of producing a lot more power (it already did in the BMW in any case). I suspect that perhaps BMW didn't want the CDT to compete with the 3 series so held it back so to speak. The ECU had a different software map to give the extra beans, the hardware remains exactly the same. This remap was (is?) available as a dealer software upgrade, but the Ron box effectively does much the same.

For clarification, and because I'm a collector of acronyms,
PCV is Positive Crankcase Ventilation. Last edited by GreyGhost; 19th March 2008 at 19:59.. |
